"I'm alright now, really, thank you, miss. Without you, I might not have been here." Aunt Wu knew that her illness could have taken her life but thanks to the kindness of a stranger, she was healed. Even though the medicine tasted terrible, she was simply glad to be healthy again.
"I'm glad you're better. Now, let me check your pulse again, just to be sure you're fully recovered. This way, Tianci can rest easy too." Qin Xue had Aunt Wu place her hand on a piece of clothing on a table for her pulse reading.
"So, am I alright?" Aunt Wu anxiously observed Qin Xue, fearing she might say she is not completely healed. That would burden her son once more and she found the thought unsettling.
"Yes, you're fine, don't worry. Just remember to disinfect all the items you have used with vinegar and boil your clothing to kill any remaining germs and prevent re-infection." Qin Xue withdrew her hand and instructed Aunt Wu on what to do next.
